Kona and Brake Therapy Team Up on D.O.P.E. System

The engineers at Kona and Brake Therapy put their heads together, took some input from back-to-back World Champ Fabien Barel, Overall World Cup Champ Tracy Moseley and the Clump Freeride Team and came up with the Drop Out Performance Enhancement system. The D.O.P.E. system a floating caliper brake system that effectively kicks brake jack to the curb, giving riders more control and eliminating brake feedback on long travel bikes while the suspension is working. The D.O.P.E. system, which has helped Kona's gravity riders top podiums around the world, comes as standard equipment on the Stab Deluxe, Stab Supreme, Stinky Primo and Stinky Deluxe, and is available as an upgrade kit for use on all 2007 Stinky, Coiler, Coiler Deluxe, CoilAir and CoilAir Supreme "Dope Ready" bikes and frames. The system features a light, machined floater body with thrust bearings that eliminates side to side play, and remains in the frame during wheel removal Check out video of D.O.P.E System HERE www.konaeurope.com
